There is no difference between Fire extinguisher cylinder and that for planted tank apart from the internal tube in extinguisher.

Soda maker is all together a different story. the valves not standard so some short of specialized valve would be needed.

One of our friend at Aquapetz did tried this and was successful but concluded that its not economical.

I had used it for about 2 years but gave up. There are many issues like leakages, etc.

Neil the adapter that you are looking for is not easily available, i was also looking for same and finally gave up. i also tried to get in touch with the factory but for 1 pcs they said very very high price as they need to make dye for the stuff and all.... so gave up the idea

if you find something share here that ll be great help to others as well :)
Finally i am Broke but Happy :D
